The cottage
A cosy, semi-detached stone-built Dales cottage, offering stylish upside down accommodation on the edge of the village of Giggleswick, just outside the popular market town of Settle.
This lovely cottage provides an ideal romantic retreat within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
On the first floor is a light and airy sitting room with dining table, along with a modern bathroom, whilst on the ground floor you will find a kitchen and a delightful double bedroom with a door leading out to the patio area, perfect for rolling out of bed and enjoying breakfast outdoors.
There are many pleasant walks from the doorstep, and the area provides outstanding opportunities for cycling and mountain biking, while access to the Settle-Carlisle Railway is just half a mile away.
Giggleswick itself has two pubs, and there are enhanced amenities in Settle with a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants.
Malham Cove/Tarn, Janet's Foss and Gardale Scar are all a short drive away, and nearby attractions include the Falconry Centre, the four-day market at Skipton, Skipton Castle and the Three Peaks.
With the Dales to explore, as well as the Lake District National Park within reach, Foxholes Lodge is a superb holiday destination, at any time of the year.
About the location
GIGGLESWICK
Settle 1 mile; Malham 6 miles; Skipton 16 miles.
This delightful Ribblesdale village lies below a limestone scar (part of the Craven fault) and just across the river from the bustling market town of Settle. It’s an incredibly pretty place with sturdy houses and cottages, many dating back to the 17th century as the ‘date stones’ over their doorways will confirm. Today the village is still centred around the beautiful St Alkelda’s church, which dates back to the 12th century and the well-known landmark of the domed chapel at the famous Giggleswick School, which dominates the village skyline. Giggleswick itself has two pubs, whilst the wide ranging amenities of the nearby market town of Settle are within easy walking distance. Further afield is the town of Ingleton with its splendid waterfall walk and of course (for the serious walker) the Three Peaks are nearby.
